NIH Loan Repayment Program (LPR)
To encourage health professionals to pursue careers in biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research, the NIH Loan Repayment Program may repay up to $35,000 of qualified student loan debt per year for individuals committing at least two years to conducting qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit organization or U.S. federal, state, or local government entity. This loan repayment benefit is in addition to institutional salary received during your time in research. Learn more about this program at: https://www.lrp.nih.gov/.
